How to store Smoked Salmon Power Breakfast Plate
If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers. The smoked salmon can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days, while the eggs should be eaten on the same day for the best taste. Avocado can oxidize quickly, so it’s best to store it with a little lemon juice to keep it fresh. 🥑❄️
